If previous years are any indication, these tend to make me fairly useless about 12 hours after the injection, for about 12 hours, so I just lean into it and treat the couple of days after as dead time. No operating heavy machinery for me this weekend! (Or most weekends, actually).
DenaShunra@wandering.shopSep 9, 2026, 11:56 PM@mattblaze I got my same ones today. My sweetie and I got assigned the last two doses in the store - but while we waited for lunch hour to be over, a whole new shipment came in.
Two more guys (both walk-ins) were waiting after us.
Go #PNW!
jbaggsjbaggs@infosec.exchangeSep 10, 2026, 12:18 AM@mattblaze I appreciate your positive outlook, but that's leaning pretty hard on an equation that isn't just supply and demand but also advertising / public education.

@jbaggs I said it's encouraging if it means there's high demand. Obviously other factors may be involved. I don't know, which is why I used the word "if". But I've heard reports that demand is, indeed, fairly high here.

@mattblaze I worded that poorly. I'm glad demand is high. I hope supply keeps up. I have a relative that has poor reactions to the MRNA vaccines and trying to find availability of the "Novavax" one has been a bloody nightmare.

@jbaggs I didn't see anyone with Novavax on the list here.
